The pain of suicide is complicated - but pain people feel ends at some point - but the pain of suicide never does.
It is never a solution. Ever.
It just creates more pain in my opinion - I wouldn't want anyone to suffer though pain - but I since I've had this *experience* - I would never advocate or *understand* suicide as a way to end suffering.
For anyone. Ever.
My experience has taught me it's ultimately selfish - because someone's solution to their pain will create an *unspeakable* agony that is beyond all language that will scar many people.
It certainly has in my case.I also understand the feelings of suicidality - & I have worked to help (or just witness the pain) of whomever through it, as long as they wanted help. Some people win the battle, some sucumb.
Suicide is never OK. Maybe that's uncivil.
But it's never OK.
